About Me

Augusta, GA, United States

I am retired from the US Army after 24 years of service. I am happily married, and celebrated our 50 years of marriage on March 10th. My wife is very supportive of my craft addiction.My main addiction is card making. She is quite crafty herself and does crocheting,plastic canvas and kniting. Have one furbaby "Sandy" a five year old cat. She rules the house

Hope everyone had a Great Easter with thier family and loved ones. The weather here was great, and the community pool was crowded.

The card I have for you today is a special fold card. After it is folded, it will fit a standard A2 envelope. I'm cheap that way and try to stick to regular postage.

Here is the card of the day;

"Special Fold"

The image stamp used for this card was one from "Just-Rite" stamps called "Beautiful Blossoms". The sentiment stamp is from "The Angel Company" called "Swirly Sayings". The sentiment stamps is a discountinued set, but I never get rid of sentiment stamp sets. You never know when you will need them.

The cardstock is cut to 4 1/4" X 11". It is scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2". After it is scored it is folded in half then folded back to the left. This leaves you with a standard 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card.

Most of the background papers I purchased from Joann's. The image was cut out with a Spellbinder die. The decorative strip on the center mat was punched with a "Martha Stewart" punch.

Of course the image was colored with my Copic markers.

The card was fun to make. I hope you enjoy it and will leave a comment.

Great card Bob. Is this also known as a Z-Fold card? I need to make one next month for a Design Team post and haven't looked up the instructions. I have made one before but it has been awhile. Thanks. Love the colors.
